Golden Earring : The Best of the Best of Golden Earring
Lyrics
1. RADAR LOVE
I've been drivin' all night,
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin',
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear
When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need a phone at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air,
Radar Love
The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise
When I get lonely,
And I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort,
Comin' in from above
Don't need a letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky,
Radar Love
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar love is gone
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called,
Radar Love
2. BACK HOME
Goin' back right through the city
Through the country, rivers so pretty
People wonder why I'm going back home
Just the place where I belong
Back home, back home,
Back home, back home
Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home
'Round and 'round, the world goes 'round
Got my friends in every town
From border to border, every place I've been
I've gotta be back if you know what I mean
Back home, back home,
Back home, back home
Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home
3. BUDDY JOE
Let me tell you about Buddy Joe
When he came down from Mexico
With his pockets full of gold
With his pockets full of gold
Have you something to declare
Are you sure there's nothing there
'Cos if there is, don't say
You've not been told
Oh, Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
Well, I don't really know
Well Buddy Joe searched all his life
Through Mexico, all the riversides
Not for the money, but for the gold
He needs to hold
Well Buddy Joe was proud as he was
Could not stand all the fuss
When they got to all his gold
He was ready to go
Oh, Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
I don't really know
Well you'll understand he didn't stand a chance
Everybody was shouting commands
When Buddy Joe split in a hurry
He was ready to be buried
Oh Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
I don't really know
4. SHE FLIES ON STRANGE WINGS
Lonely is the night without you
Just as lonely as the shepherd without sheep
And where flies the falcon,
In the high sweet air
Without hunting this Sprane Valleys deer
She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much
She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings
She takes off when she desires
Silence grows on her lips
She can bring you so much higher
She spreads love on all her trips, yeah
She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings
Woke up this morning
And this feeling came to my head
To fly with her from sky to sky
'Cause my mind seemed to be dead
So I floated up towards her
On my mutilated wings
But all the blackness sings against me now
It's the lady of the strange wings
She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much
She flies on strange...........
5. SEE SEE
He was the only key
She was the only door
What more could they please
Her eyes are ponds of blue
His wishes all came true
What was there to loose in the midnight
See, see, see, he said
Seagulls screamin' down in the morning sky
Gee, gee, gee, he said
Come on girl let's leave this world behind
But then, after weeks
The weeks they got weak
Little did they speak about the future
Her eyes still were blue
But thoughts soon got black
Time that he went back to where he came from
See, see, see, she said
Broken dreams fill the starless night
Gee, gee, gee, she said
And her tears were sparklin' bright in the mornin' light
6. ANOTHER 45 MILES
Here comes the night
A veil over the light
In the distance some shadows of the clouds in the sky
I've got to get home, to my child, my wife
Here comes the night
I'm scared to death, got to get me a ride
It looks like the road is swallowing me up
Gotta hurry home, don't dare to look back
Blueville is straight ahead
Another 45 miles to go
Another 45 miles before I'm home
I wish I could pay the sun to run
Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son
Clouds in the sky
Gathering for a fight
Chasing their prey till it can't go on
I mend my pace 'cos my bride is waiting home
Here comes the night
I'm scared to death, got to get me a ride
It looks like the road is swallowing me up
Gotta hurry home, don't dare to look back
Blueville is straight ahead
Another 45 miles to go
Another 45 miles before I'm home
I wish I could pay the sun to run
Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son
7. STAND BY ME
I don't care if you need more lovin'
More than I can give you everyday
I don't mind if you sleep all over town
If you only care for me,
Than I don't have to say
Stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
I don't mind if you need more money
Go out with friends and dance all night
And give your body when you're stoned and wasted
When you're with me, I want you on my side
Stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
I don't care if you drive my car
And go ridin' with some rock 'n roll star
You wanna make love and you tell him you're free
But when we're together, please stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
8. BIG TREE BLUE SEA
Morning sunshine, praise the earth
Fill your glass with wine and dirt
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea
Paper castles, filled with words
Limbo policemen please the herd
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea
I'm sun, I'm warm, I'm child of the moon
Even when it's dark, I'll send the dune
Can't you hear there's fishermen laughing
The whale dips down, I hear him crying for me
I'm shade, I'm good, I'm beams in June
Even when it's dark, I'll light your room
Don't you know the clown has feelings
Talking revolution, secret meetings, who's free
Who's free, free
Morning sunshine, praise the earth
Fill your glass with blood and dirt
I don't mind, I'm the big tree
I don't mind, I'm the blue sea
9. EVERYDAY'S TORTURE
You're my everyday's torture
You're a burnin' light
When dark times surround me
You're my love, you're my fight
You're my everyday's torture
That's what no one denies
My spirit, my splendour
Did I loose, tell me why
I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
I'm hung up on a woman's resolution
There's nothing left but a dream, an illusion
I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
Free me, free me
I saw you powerful, I saw you happy
But I only lived for myself
God, I need you so badly
But I expect no help
You're my everyday's torture
The gun at my head
My everyday's torture
The knife at my chest
I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
I'm hung up on a woman's resolution
There's nothing left but a dream, an illusion
I'm a man, know my destiny
But it seems, love is dead for me
Free me, free me
10. THE WALL OF DOLLS
This is the wall of dolls
Secret world of smalls
Look at them all my friend
You'll be one of them in the end
Frozen smiles and frowns
Lives of ups and downs
Aren't you, aren't we all
Part of the wall of dolls
Listen to the puppet clown
His tales might bring you down
Hang the dwarfs and trolls
Hang on the wall of dolls
This is the wall of dolls
Secret world of smalls
Look at them all my friend
You'll be one of them in the end
